The Drosophila testis is a well-established system for studying stem cell self-renewal and competition. In this tissue, the niche supports two stem cell populations, germ line stem cells (GSCs), which
Sperm motility is one of the most important indicator for evaluating roosters’ fecundity. However, the molecular regulation underlying chicken sperm motility is not yet clear. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays e
Reproductive proteins are among the most rapidly evolving classes of proteins. For a subset of these, rapid evolution is driven by positive Darwinian selection despite vital, well-conserved, reproduct
